Book Description
"Technological advances and regulatory changes have created both investment opportunity and challenge for participants in today's international capital markets. The existence and use of diverse international accounting procedures poses one such challenge: How can analysts determine the true investment value of global firms?" "This issue and related concerns are thoroughly examined in International Capital Markets in a World of Accounting Differences. Inside this thought-provoking volume, financial practitioners and scholars debate the impact of international accounting differences (accounting measurement rules, financial disclosure requirements, and/or differences in auditing standards) on decision-making in today's capital markets." "You'll find insightful analyses of such topics as international GAAP differences and their effects on firms; accounting differences and securities markets regulations; international regulatory initiatives; and policy alternatives and strategic options for minimizing global accounting diversity." "Concerns about the effect of accounting diversity on capital markets have sparked a renewed interest in harmonizing accounting and reporting standards worldwide. International Capital Markets in a World of Accounting Differences challenges and analyzes the validity of these concerns and offers strategic alternatives for making more informed decisions in the world's capital markets."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Pages : 218
Book Description
This study explores artistic choices in cinema exhibition, focusing on film theaters, film festivals, and film archives and situating film-curating issues within an international context. Artistic and commercial film availability has increased overwhelmingly as a result of the digitization of the infrastructure of distribution and exhibition. The film trade's conventional structures are transforming and, in the digital age, supply and demand can meet without the intervention of traditional gatekeepers—everybody can be a film curator, in a passive or active way. This volume addresses three kinds of readers: those who want to become film curators, those who want to research the film-curating phenomenon, and those critical cinema visitors who seek to investigate the story behind the selection process of available films and the way to present them.
